Hi Mike, Thank you for your message, but my interest was in Margaret HARDWICK who I speculated married David Elijah COCKERTON as there was a name missing from the FreeBMD index in the 2Q 1881 and in the later census Margaret [who turned out to be a WITHAM] came from Brimington, as did my Margaret HARDWICK. So what happened to Margaret HARDWICK is still open to question. Hope this makes sense!
